5.0 out of 5 stars A great tongue-in cheek Time-travel novel., April 27, 1997

By A Customer

Set in the same framework as one of his other great books, The Probability Broach, Mr. Smith has created yet another tongue-in-cheek, cynical and sarcastic poke at established society and liberalism. The hero, Bernie Gruenblum, is a delightfully politically incorrect individual; a refreshing character in an age where more and more authors find it impossible to visualize anything controversial. Bernie's one desire is to sit back, enjoy life (preferably a large beer and long cigar with a wench on the side), but keeps getting interupted with crises such as his flying-saucer/time-machine getting hijacked. Again, like his other North American Confederacy books, if you are a liberal or of left wing politics, don't bother. Otherwise it is a GREAT and amusing read

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorite books, October 15, 2007

By	Lee K. Gleason - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I found this novel to be hysterically funny. While reading it, keep an eye out for the many names that are anagrams for public figures - makes it even funnier...

5.0 out of 5 stars A GREAT SMITH STORY, September 1, 2008

By	Robert Tanner "btexpress" (portland, me) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

this is the funniest of all the L Neil Smith books...from the prospective of someone from an over reaching government to total Libertarianism and the shock that comes from oppressiveness to total freedom...just a great funny read for future Ron Paulites
